The farmers market has been full of apples for the last few weeks and I have been enjoying snacking on them. I was thinking that it was about time that I got around to cooking with some apples and I thought that making my own apple sauce would be a great place to start. While I was searching for a recipe for apple sauce I came across this recipe for a roasted apple sauce. One thing that I have discovered while food blogging is that roasting things concentrates their flavour and makes them better so I was immediately sold on the roasted apple sauce idea. For the apples, I used half mac and half honey crisp as those were the ones that I had on hand. The apple sauce was really easy to make; you simply toss the apples with some spices, roast them and then mash them. I let my apples roast for a good long time, until they were nice and soft and caramelizing. Because I let the apples roast so long the apple sauce came out pretty dark but it was great! The apple flavour was nice and concentrated and the cinnamon gave it a nice spiciness. This was easily the best apple sauce that I have had. Unfortunately it was a pretty small batch and I am going to have to make more!

Chunky applesauce! My favorite! My boys have brought me a lot of apples from our trees; I might have to try this. Of course, if you think yours didn't last long with just you, give a guess how long it would last here! I'm thinking quadruple, at least.

I've never seen such a dark apple sauce, but I've also never seen a *roasted* apple sauce--and I'm totally sold on the idea. Something about that sultry dark color makes it look so much better in my eyes...I've had making apple sauce on my mind lately, and I think this is the approach I'll need to try. It looks great!

aaarrrgh, a double-whammy! On the one hand you have me positively drooling about the sauce, and on the other you have me yearning for the US farmers' ,arkets with their fantastic selection of apples. Iwas lucky enough to catch the tail end of the market season 2 weeks ago in Chicago and fell head over heels in love with honeycrisps (just like I did 2 years ago in Connecticut with macouns) - we don't get either here :( Bookmarked - thanks!

Even doubling your recipe, I've already made this twice :) I don't know if it's the roasting, or the added apple juice, but this is sure some yummy applesauce. Thanks for your recipes; they are terrific. So glad I found your site :)

My grandmother always had canned apple sauce growing up on the farm. I was just wondering if this could be canned and enjoyed throughout the winter?? And how would i go about doing it? Thanks!!!! Can't wait to try this. My aunt and i are going to an orchard on Tuesday and am looking forward to making this!!!!! :)
